I called Buena Park Fire Station a few blocks away ... "Thank you, ma'am. We're aware of the situation, and crews have been dispatched." That was at 2:45 pm. The fire crews were NOT assisting.
Lagoon has had the same model, a Mondial Topscan, running pretty reliably for nearly 25 years. The one at a Knott’s is much newer, so I suspect Cedar Fair and Six Flags corporation are not doing all the maintenance they should.
This ride is incredibly sensitive. I was a certified operator for ten months. The safety of the riders is beyond comprehension, and if even the slightest imbalance is detected, the ride shuts down. It has faced periodic downtime over the last twelve moths, most of which involved riders manipulating either the Shoulder Restraint or the extra failsafe Seatbelt to the point where the ride stopped automatically.When in doubt, the ride is shut down.
Okay first of all I was there and it’s not there fault the ride broke down its js the ride.. they couldn’t do anything abt it and everyone got off safely
I was there.. we were riding a bunch of rides and we saw helicopters. We googled why they were there and we saw this.. we were even gonna go on that ride today
That's why I've been so paranoid about amusement park rides that involve going upside down at any time. Ride that don't go upside down at all, I'm all for it. For rides that do go upside down at any time as a feature of the ride, I've abstained from getting on them since I was a kid.
KTLA should put their news employees under a serious learning program. Specially on emergency situations. It will be a disgrace for them if they were laughing "on air" and thinking on perks while people are struggling and having to stress their organs in a very dangerous position. When a human being stays upside-down or incline the way they are, the organs starts to react. Depending on your health, some organs starts to accumulate water, the amount of blood can suffocate certain organs. What the employes did was the right thing..... Put all those bodies in a normal position In a safe position. Then rescue will begin slowly Carefully. First responders should be on-site to check vitals of everyone. Rider after rider. This lady and the other news reporters are a shame. Instead of focusing in the health of the riders and the dangers of being in a abnormal position, they were laughing and thinking on perks like annual pass????? Seriously???. What the heck is going on with this news reporters????
You can't give reporters technical training (including medical) for every damn unexpected occurrence that could potentially take place ----- BUT, these are good points and they should have a medical consultant on call to discuss these issues on air the same way that every earthquake is followed by Lucy Jones from Cal Tech on every channel.
@@kikovazquez7277 their attitude is the problem. They acted like they were watching an entertainment show and enjoying it while it’s the real life threatening problem.
That must be a cursed plot of land. In 2012, WindSeeker, the ride that used to be on that footprint, had a similar thing happen. Its brake system malfunctioned and left riders stranded dangling in the air for several hours at a height of 300 feet due to a frozen brake.
Not to mention the sky cabin getting stuck at the top of the tower in 2016 and passengers being lowered down on ropes, or the death on Parlous Plunge in 2001.
Why doesn't each ride have a plan to quickly remove riders from this type of emergency? Because they don't feel you're that important! Don't get on these rides!!
My cousin worked at knotts , trust me it’s not safe , she said they would help eachother ( the workers ) test the rides in the morning , no one professional is checking those rides , they are never cleaned, she told me she don’t know who does it cuz they don’t and she’s never seen anyone. Worst theme park in my opinion
The female reporter in this interview is CLEARLY BEING PAID BY THE PARK.... the fact that these people are discussing the money AND THEY ARE NOT CIVIL SUIT LAWYERS... what a ridiculous excuse for a News program.
Ratcheting a cable is extremely dangerous and could have killed or decapitated someone. Ever see what happens when someone hooks a metal cable around a tree stub, hook it to their F150, and attempt to remove the tree stub? When the tree stub gives, the cable and hook go flying and usually destroy the rear end of the truck. That cable was under thousands of pounds of pressure & could have decapitated or killed the riders if it snapped.
Dear Newscaster(s), thank you for saying "stuck" - instead of "shtuck" for some inexplicable reasons. I am shtymied as to why News Reporters put an unnecessary "h" in words like "shtuck", "shtrong", and "shtreet". Weird shtuff. I hope this situation shtablizes quickly.
there could be extensive injuries to these people from hemmorhoids to sprained body limbs, maybe even possible blood clots that could be fatal in the near short term. there are so many dangers that come with pooling blood or dangling in unusual positions. if anyone was hanging upside down, they would be deceased in matters of minutes. you can't survive upside down.. very dangerous situation.
Happened to me during Halloween weekend "Fright Night") in the early '80s...but it was Montezuma's revenge...we went up high backwards...but we did not come down...until about an hour later...manually
Cedar fair (Knotts parent company) is so trash rip six flags except more brake downs and accidents this company hates up-keeping the rides six flags might be a parking lot with rides but the rides if open won’t malfunction this bad cuz they would fix it fully before opening but now six flags is cedar fair smh hope they do get sued so they can actually fix and maintain the fn attractions

The worst would be if you had to go to the bathroom and you were stuck on that thing for two hours
Even worse, being the person BELOW THE PERSON who had to pee and couldn’t hold it.😂😂😂😂
And upside-down
I'd piss myself. It would only add to the drama of my lawsuit.
That’s my biggest fear!
Needing to go to the bathroom in any situation with no bathroom available or something stopping you from going is the worst 😰
I AM ON MY WAY. I WILL BE THERE IN 7 HOURS. DONT GIVE UP.
😂
So they've been stuck like that since 2:00PM? It's now 5:00PM. Not cool at all.... Note to self stay the EFF off stupid rides at amusement parks.
Lifetime pass
Who would want to return…?
@@phil2u48I almost ride it
Yes a life time passing never to enter Knotts.
you think small. you file a lawsuit for 10 million dollars is what you do. The F you want a lifetime pass thats only worth $1,000

Hmmm, and you say you were where when this happened?
the folks laying on plastic sideways for 2 hours is crazyyy!! Mind blowing how they wouldn’t consider this an emergency at all??
SUE them! Over 2 hours and one old cherry picker and NO one rescued yet.
Okay first of all I was there and it’s not there fault the ride broke down its js the ride.. they couldn’t do anything abt it and everyone got off safely
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Its not their fault?
So if my car traps you under it for two hours its not my fault, right?
You don't really understand how rides work
Why does everything have to be a sue? You guys are so quick to jump to a sue when there was no intentional reason of suspicion.
who the hell is at knotts on a monday?!? 😮😳😵🤔😬
Me I was there today and it’s the best time to go bc everyone is in school and it’s not crowded
THE BEST TIME TO GO 💯 @@lowkey.maiyaa
Me Cuz it’s Slow and less people and free food and drinks with Pass
I was there.. we were riding a bunch of rides and we saw helicopters. We googled why they were there and we saw this.. we were even gonna go on that ride today
season pass holders obviously lol
At least it didn't move. Imagine they couldn't stop it...
At least it`s not raining.
…..it May start raining when someone starts peeing on those below. 🤷🏼♂️

lol
Thank you to those who help bring them down safely.
KTLA pushin the “sue, sue sue” mentality I see 😂
Final destination 😮😮😮😮
They deserve answers as to why this was how it was handled. Ridiculous!! My legs would go numb.
2 hours is horrific 10 minutes should be the max to wait.
Um....it's broken. It's not like they planned this.
It's a machine it's not like it's gonna do what the engineers what it to do.
This ride has been stuck multiple times. It needs to go
Always a smart thing to keep food in your pockets
...and maybe mountain climbing gear.
And a diaper? 🫣
What`s Worse...being stuck on that ride...Or the News reporting about things They Know Nothing about?.
The not understandinv engineering was more annoying.
Shouldn’t all these kids be in school at 2 PM?
uhoh, busted playing hooky live on the news
Nobody cares knotts is fun
Didn't Knotts have their own fire department? Where are the first responders? Knotts went downhill when the family sold the park.
It’s an Edgar attraction now
For reals they got the damn maintenance guy on the lift 😂😂
They cut staff during pandemic lol
Y'all better leave these rides alone. A lot of these rides at these places don't be getting checked and inspected like they should.
Thats not possible these parks also go through state inspections.
Stay off these rides, period..
That's a boring life tbh
@@Danplays3000 boring is peaceful ✌️
Lord. At least no one got stuck upside down. It could’ve been worse.
They gonna get a free fastpast ahahahahaha for the next ride or a day ticket
Based on the who goes to Knott's Berry Farm, I'm assuming people still waited the entire time in line to get on next.
That's why I've been so paranoid about amusement park rides that involve going upside down at any time. Ride that don't go upside down at all, I'm all for it. For rides that do go upside down at any time as a feature of the ride, I've abstained from getting on them since I was a kid.
That’s crazy being 2 hours on your side would make me vomit for sure or very nauseous.
I wouldn’t think a winch is a smart idea if those cable lines break that definitely kill a worker or a bystander very dangerous
My friends and I got stuck on this ride two weeks ago and it was raining ☔️
😮
Knotts and Disney land are neck and neck for having consistent busted rides
everything is the world brakes , lol maybe a anvil last 500 years
Machines have malfucntions. It bound to happen.
I hope everyone is okay. It seemed to go a lot better than some other ride accidents around the world.

WHY IS NOBODY DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS??
did you watch the video buba ??
Cuz all the real engineers are retired. And the new employees are probably 18-23 and have a background in Tik Tok and IG.
The Greatest Gift. No one gets hurt. they will come home to celebrate their Thanksgiving with their family.
Under the Trump Administration this would’ve easily been avoided
Yes there would be 10 cherry pickers out there. Huge lawsuit🤦♀️
I guess the OC Fire Department was like, "Nah, the park workers got this". Wtf?
Welp, that sucks ...😑
yeppers
Why doesn't each ride have a plan to quickly remove riders from this type of emergency?
Because they don't feel you're that important!
Don't get on these rides!!
How did this thing not have backup?
This is very dangerous, something could happen and someone could fall.
I suggest learn some physics
@@cardboardboxification Yes I was planning on doing that along with computer science.
I wonder how many people and children lost their bowls or bladder 😢
And they had no plan? negligence indeed
Genuine question, does anyone know what they get as compensation for the experience?

You need to get those children off that's the most importantly how disappointing is this they should have way more help now
Here comes them lawsuits. I swear it looks like Knott's hired carnies to build and maintain these rides
"maybe this will fix it"
*all seats open up
this would be my fear

Crazy!! And no one had to pee while stuck up there? I’ll be just fine not getting on thrill rides like this.
That happened to me like 2 weeks ago in the same ride during knotts scary farm
How long where you stuck for do you have video
I would have a panic attack I am claustrophobic

The park is not going to give them any compensation
Exactly my worst nightmare whenever I looked at these kinds of rides and wondering why people were so brave.
Did anyone piss themselves yet unable to hold it any longer?
1 year pass with free drinks/food minimal
I love how KTLA post this crap but can't stream it live on TH-cam until after 😂
So you love that they don't go live on the tube
Thank God it did not turn who knows what would have happened.🙏🏻
Why are these people not at work or school??
They basically took out a carnival ride to put another carnival ride and this happens. wheelchairs that’s all that Knott spare farm provided. 😢

I’ve been on that ride it was amazing
Well at least they are now cure of any fear of height 😂
Please do and post a follow-up story.
They should have called Lagoon for advice since something similar happened there more than 20 years ago and has never happened since.

They are safer in their seats. Can you imagine trying to unstrap and someone falls. Not a good senerio
How bad is it to be upside down for hours?
The commenters are annoying. Their talk is nonsense.
They’re being wheeled to a room to discuss further settlements and then call the ambulances. 🚑
No wonder why there were 3 helicopters flying around my neighborhood today.
So you're kidding they don't have an electric winch? 😂
Guess they think its not an emergency 😒
Safety is the top priority. May Allah safe them 😢
how pathetic no one has a clue
Imagine having to take a deuce and pee, or take your meds.
It looks like a good time was had by all. Just like when I had my birthday party there in Fiesta Village in 1970.
Nothing goes wrong with your car!😂
Sue em into oblivion
sue them for what ? sitting in a chair
EXACTLY why I never go on kinetic rides. I'll get my thrills on virtual reality.

Only if your maintenance and engineering department sucks.
ohhh boy now it’s Sol spin the curse of Windseeker lives on in this attraction
It was a smart move to lower the ride to ground level, then offload the passengers.
not the fire department job.
Think any of them will ever get back on a ride again? 😅
